Lucía Menéndez

I am a final-year student of the Biology degree at the Complutense University of Madrid. My fascination with nature and biology started at an early age and led me to study this degree. I am currently in the specialisation of Environmental Biology. I have always been interested in learning about nature, as well as in the study of all forms of life (with a special interest in birds and animals), including physiology and the study of behaviour, the interactions with the environment and evolution. I have the opportunity to be an intern in the National Museum of Natural Sciences (CSIC) with Diego Gil as my tutor. My final degree project, which is also tutored by Diego Gil, focuses on the study of length and colouring variation of the throat feathers of the spotless starling (Sturnus unicolor) in relation to sex and age.
